Data are everywhere. Data are used by businesses to make decisions, by governments to create policies, and by researchers to understand the world around us. But data can be hard to understand — and even harder to explain to others.

In this course, you will learn how to keep your audience interested, whether they’re in front of you or reading your words on a page. You’ll learn tips and tricks on how to explain the main points of your data graphs in a way that’s easy to understand and remember.

But why learn data storytelling?

We live in a world full of data. Businesses, governments, and researchers use data to make important decisions. But understanding this data can be hard. This is where data storytelling comes in.

Data storytelling helps us understand and remember data. It’s a skill that’s becoming more and more important as we use more data in our everyday lives. This course will help you improve your data storytelling skills.

Simply put, this course will give you a framework that you can use to make your data exciting and memorable to your audience. You’ll also get lots of tips on how to make and present data graphics.
